Hoifei Yang

Chinese-born artist based in Florianópolis, Brazil, Hoifei Yang works primarily in oil. Her practice is rooted in contemporary classical realism, combining traditional painting techniques with a quiet, contemplative approach to everyday subjects.

Her paintings explore the relationship between presence and memory through portraits, still lifes, and intimate scenes. Rather than documenting specific moments, she seeks to reveal the subtle emotions carried by light, silence, and familiar objects. Each work invites viewers to slow down and discover the poetry hidden within ordinary life.

Influenced by classical realism while embracing a contemporary sensibility, Yang creates paintings that emphasize craftsmanship, atmosphere, and emotional resonance.

Independent study in classical drawing and oil painting, with a focus on traditional techniques, observational painting, and contemporary realism.
